In this 7-session study, discover the redemptive facet of Job's suffering. Learn to view pain as a way to strengthen your faith, point others to the gospel, and trust in the Lord. Because His providence will never take you to a place where His grace will not sustain you.

Imagine if a really good, Godly guy was just ambling along, minding his own, well-behaved business when he fell into into a deep pit of pain, loss and suffering. Then, when he was buried up to his neck in misery at the bottom of that horrible hole, he found out God allowed his terrible tumble. Surely he would renounce his faith in a compassionate Creator-Redeemer, right? Maybe get a huge, "God is dead or at least asleep at the wheel" tattoo across his back. Well, that scenario actually happened to a guy named Job and while history is blurry about the tattoo, it's crystal clear about his unshakable faith. Despite overwhelming odds, Job clung tenaciously to the truth that God is good...even when life is unbelievably bad. This incredibly engaging and inimitable story proves that God's providence will never take us to a place where His grace will not sustain us. No matter what difficulties we're walking through, or crisis we're facing we can rest in an unlikely joy.

The events that occur in the book of Job present readers with a profound question: "Why do the righteous suffer?" Although a direct answer to this question seems important, the book of Job does not set forth such a response. Job never learned the reasons for his suffering. In fact, when God finally confronted Job, he could only put his hand over his mouth and say nothing. His silence underscores the importance of trusting God's purposes in the midst of suffering, because suffering—like all other human experiences—is directed by perfect divine wisdom.

Too many people settle for relating to Jesus merely as a comfortable friend and companion, when what we all need is an untamed Savior, a fearless champion tough enough to conquer our shame and compelling enough for us to follow Him without hesitation.
